We send two sets of prints: one bound together and one loose, so that you have a master set to make notes in, and a set from which you can easily make copies as needed by different tradespeople.

We ask that you respect our copyright and use them for only one project.

Plans come in a convenient 11×17″ size.

Building your own timber frame house?

People often ask us, “Can I build my own timber frame from the information in your plans?”

Well, that depends:

If you are an experienced timberframer, yes, there’s more than enough information in the package for you to go ahead.

If you have taken a timberframe workshop, and have some woodworking skills, you could build a simple frame. Note, however, that it takes a while to learn to cut even simple joinery, and most post and beam frames have several complex joints.
